    He got by with a little help from his friends. RIP. Huge talent.

    I worked with and recorded Joe back in 2003.  It was one of the first jobs I ever did with a really big name and one of the very few times I have felt in the company of a true legend.  He was (as predicted) phenomenal, did everything in three takes, was incredibly laid back (which made a change to a lot of the divas we dealt with) and was an amazingly lovely and down to earth guy.  It's quite taken me back reading it as I obviously still hold it as one of the best days of my life.  RIP Joe.

    What will the Funeral Director's position be about him wearing his hat?

    I'd like to think he'd had a good time while he was alive, so maybe he needed the rest. RIP Joe.

    Great singer, and part of my early music life. Will be sadly missed.
    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    I don't normally get affected by news of people I don't know dying-but this is one of them times where I am, left his mark on the world and 70 is no age-great shame and shit timing for his family.

    RIP

    I only know him for that Beatles cover, as the theme tune for The Wonder Years. Still sad though.
